Also known as the "Hello Kitty" session. All of these were shot in a low key lighting situation using studio strobes. I took advantage of the dark background by integrating other photos as backgrounds and textural layers into most of these. Some of these shots pay homage to Frank Frazetta's work and black velvet paintings.

All photos sized to a (relative) size of 20" x30". Meaning they'll look fine printed up to that size, perhaps larger, but definitely smaller too.

Around 2008 to 2009 I was the house photographer with both Boozer Doodle and Dr. Sketchy. Both groups would pull talent from the Atlanta burlesque community. Boozer doodle was set at first in the Laughing Skull lounge at the downtown Vortex bar and grill.

Karen and I were attending the wedding of a niece Elizabeth Cox (now Williams) in May of 2013 just a couple of weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing. Our hotel overlooked the Finish line where we saw numerous tourists visiting the location to pay their respects. More importantly there were ongoing completions of the race by some of the participants since the race was closed down by the bombing. There were lots of hugs and tears at the finish line. A very moving spectacle to observe. The signs of "Boston Proud" were everywhere.Link to more Boston 2013 pictures.
